Peaches Geldof, Paris Hilton, Jade Goody, Kerry Katona and anyone who has been in some crap reality show or is in the celeb gossip mags because their parents are famous or are just stupidly rich and are desperately clinging onto their shallow little fame bubble please just fuck off and die.

- all for the obvious reasons


Geri Halliwell - I think it's the desparation to be loved that grates.

Bono - Take off those fecking sunglasses (oh and The Edge - for being called The Edge) and get out of my tv.

Gillian McKeith - I'm on a FaceBook group that pledges to force-feed the witch a mars-bar if I ever spot her in the street.




Agree with all of that, and have to add that Bono should be starved to death in a third world country as I think he's rather enjoy being a martyr. Fecking holier than thou tw@t.


When will some musicians realise that having a good voice doesn't make you a moral gaurdian! I'm all for using fame to do good, but give me a break!

Hehe...it was the "photosynethesis in the gut" that I always loved. Photosynthesis requires light you stupid dragon.


Dara O'Brien once said that in Ireland, growing up as a Catholic, he was told all Protestants looked like Gillian McKeith - haggard and miserable - brilliant!

Of course it's most unfash to be into celebrity culture when you're all edukated and interested in, like, serious issues, but we only have ourselves to blame.


We suck it up like a big, sweet milkshake with a glace cherry on top. All of us. Even as we speak, this thread is mutating into a well-thumbed copy of Hello in a dentist's waiting room - which you're desperately hoping someone will put down because all you've got is Men's Health... and you're not even a man.

Sorry *Bob*, I'll grant you many things but I won't let you have this post-ironic relativism or wherever it is you're coming from on this.


I genuinely can't stand it and I'm not one of the gawpers. But when even the so-called serious papers will happily splash the latest about Paris Hilton in a desperate move to shift papers in an ever-decreasin market, where I have to thumb my way past the latest nobodies in a bid to find the London Paper crossword, when even Alex James is practically blimmin omnipotent, then some of it will osmote.


I do nothing to encourage, but it is becoming entrenched in our society.


Escapism, piffle; if a bit of glamour helps us look up and aspire from our Tesco shelf-stacking that why the fuck is Eastenders so shitting popular, it makes me want to gnaw my own limbs off with a blunt spoon....which can't even fucking GNAW!!!!!

I prefer anonymity, thanks all the same, David.


So you're not a sleb gawper, you're a sleb sneerer, Mockers? But both are two sides of the same coin. What's the difference between sitting in a pub talking about Bono's hair and sitting in a pub talking about not giving a shit about Bono's hair?

Sorry you've lost me there Bob.

Bemoaning a loss of real values in society is not the same about trumpeting about how you're like soooo above sleb gossip.


I was chatting with a chap approaching retirement this morning on the station platform and he was comparing today's footballers with the genuine greats of the past (we haven't had one since Brooking apparently). He regretted the way money and celebrity has changed the game, and having been a lifelong season ticket holder at Charlton he's finally growing disillusioned with the whole deal.


Sounded pretty genuine to me, but apparently he's responsible for Beckham Inc by not giving a shit about Beckahm Inc?

Again, explain that one.

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
